Sage Timberline Estimating offers a Commercial/Industrial Database or its Electrical Knowlegebase ready to work with Trade Services pricing service, the Tra-Ser Integrator. Prices for 1000's of parts are update through your subscription.
Populate your estimates with parts or Smart Assemblies (whichever is is appropriate), enter the quantity you measured using OnScreen Takeoff, and estimate the cost for labor and materials in seconds.
Sage Timberline's Smart Assemblies are programmed to let you answer questions, let it pick all the parts (the correct conduit spec, the correct fittings, etc.), and let it do all the math to calc the right quantities for all the parts (for the conduit).
Productivity is set in the database for the average job but may easily be adjusted up or down depending on the job.
The end result is a very comprehensive "ballpark" estimate in a format with notes that is presented in a printed format for your client.
You can refine the cost by "pushing" your parts to Sage Buyout. Buyout will make it easy to get current pricing from your vendors which can, in turn, be "pushed" back to your estimate. Now you have the makings of your "hard" bid to the client.
